Botany Manor is a neat contextual puzzle solving detective game about figuring out the conditions needed to grow strange and slightly magical plants. Explore the manor, find clues and items - and pick out the important details that will teach you how your plants need to grow.
The puzzles are neat and satisfying, not overly complicated, and Botany Manor is good fun for it's 3-4 hour duration.
The only downside is that Botany Manor is simply not as polished as some other titles in this "genre" (Chants of Sennaar, Return of the Obra Dinn, The Case of the Golden Idol etc.) and feels slightly weak in that regard. It's also more expensive than those other games. It's not the first game I'd recommend in this niche, but I'm glad it exists.
